Between a "No Other Land" crew mate filming himself being killed by a settler, to a journalist being killed by airstrikes he was covering minutes earlier, I'm not sure how much more televised Israel's genocide can be

Oh my God. Anas had one of the biggest platforms among journalists in Gaza. He was just killed in a targeted strike on the Al Jazeera tent. Comes after Israel targeted and murdered hundreds of other journalists. This is intentional and purposeful to erase news coming out of Gaza. No doubt.

Anas Al-Sharif was one of the most remarkable reporters of his generation. For 673 days, he defied Israeli threats to kill him. Al Jazeera now confirm their crew in Gaza City have all been assassinated: RIP reporters Anas Al-Sharif & Mohammed Qareqea and cameramen Ibrahim Zaher & Mohammed Nofal

Anas Al-Sharif pictured with his two young children that he is holding. They are all smiling.

The harassment of gender nonconforming women is a feature, not a bug, of anti-gender ideology. The plan was always to force us to conform to heteronormative patriarchy

A photo of a young woman and “"Tay Beales a 22 year old lesbian was thrown out of Marks snd Spencer toilets when staff said she was a man.
She was told to use the men's toilets.
This is the future 'gender critical feminists' want."

Love how every single liberal party strategy is “moving right wins elections” then when moving right repeatedly fails to win elections cause they’re running against OPENLY RIGHT-WING PARTIES they just go “Well clearly we didn’t move right enough.” Like even a child could tell you what’s wrong

I feel like 2024 was a total write-off of a year for me. So nothingy. Worse than 2016, when my dad died. At least I got to sit in a lot of pub gardens that year. Apologies to anyone who saw me last year, basically.

Yesterday, I reconnected with an old college acquaintance from Gaza. I asked how his family was doing. There was a brief pause. Then, in a quiet voice, he said, “I’m okay… but my wife and babies were killed. Our home was destroyed.” I was stunned. I didn’t know what to say.

People in Gaza are still collecting the skulls and decomposed remains of their children from beneath the rubble, while some fantasize about building a resort on their mass graves, and others gloat over a minority that refused to vote for the party that enabled a genocide.
